Oh please don't give up! I know you probably feel like you've been doing this FOREVER, but 8 weeks isn't all that long. It took me months to stabilise properly, but after...uh...9 months? on the diet, I now only have problems when I've been bad or I'm ill otherwise (migraine, flu, etc). It's made such a big difference.
The soluble fibre supplements helped me more than anything the doc gave me and I had to take Fybogel for ages, which is the most disgusting goopy mess imaginable! But now I have the joy of Acacia, which is so incredible (btw, thank you Heather for the latest delivery! Got it this morning...v.exciting!  ). The only thing I can think it tastes like is slightly stale water. And it goes in anything. I have in tea, cereal, oatmeal, noodles....
You don't sound like you're eating much??? I know its hard when you can't eat proper sized meals, but snacking (on soluble fibre) is essential. If you don't feel you're getting enough protein, what about a protein shake?
You totally sound like a type-A persona (very into controlling your life - like I was!) and I bet the hypno or yoga would really, really help. It's not new-agey at all - there've been so many clinical studies proving how good it is. Sounds like you could do with making more time for "me-time". Book that massage. Then think about scheduling regular slots to do yoga or hypno or something! Look after yourself girlie - you're not a robot!
